How do metals become stable?

Chemistry
1 answer:
natali 33 [55]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Atoms of metal elements give away electrons in their reactions to form positive ions. The ions formed have a full outer electron shell, so are very stable.

Explanation:

To become stable, the metal atom wants to get rid of one or more electrons in its outer shell. ... Alternately, an atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion (aka cations). The particles in an ionic compound are held together because there are oppositely charged particles that are attracted to one another.

A group of students working in a high school chemistry lab believe they have discovered a new element! How exciting? Upon furthe
spayn [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Information given about the element:

Number of protons = 74

Number of neutrons = 110

For the atomic number:

Neutral atoms such as this one would have their atomic number to be the same with their number of electrons and protons:

     atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

The atomic number would therefore be 74

For the mass number:

The mass of an atom is centrally concentrated within the tiny nucleus. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom. Protons and neutrons are nuclear particles and are called nucleons:

     Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons = 74+110=184

Is this a new element?

From the peroidic table, tungsten(W) perfectly fits this description of the atom. It has an atomic number of 74 and a mass number of approximately 184. The element is not a new element.

Is it solid, liquid, or gas?

The element is a hard metallic solid. It is a classified as a transition metal on the periodic table. Transition metals have very unique metals and are mostly solids.

A closed vessel having a volume of 1 liter holds 2.5 × 1022 molecules of carbon dioxide gas. Determine the mass of CO2 present,
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

mass = 1.8x10⁻³ kg; number of moles = 4.1x10⁻⁵ kmol; specific volume = 0.55 m³/kg; molar specific volume = 24.4 m³/kmol

Explanation:

By the Avogadro's number, 1 mol of the matter has 6.02x10²³ molecules, thus, the number of moles (n) is the number of molecules presented divided by Avogadro's number:

n = 2.5x10²²/6.02x10²³

n = 0.041 mol

n = 4.1x10⁻⁵ kmol

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44 g/mol (12 g/mol of C + 2*16g/mol of O), and the mass is the number of moles multiplied by the molar mass:

m = 0.041 mol * 44 g/mol

m = 1.804 g

m = 1.8x10⁻³ kg

The specific volume (v) is the volume (1L = 0.001 m³) divided by the mass, and it represents how much volume is presented in each part of the mass:

v = 0.001/1.8x10⁻³

v = 0.55 m³/kg

The molar specific volume (nv) is the volume divided by the number of moles, and it represents how much volume is presented in each part of the mol:

nv = 0.001/4.1x10⁻⁵

nv = 24.4 m³/kmol

Three isotopes of oxygen are oxygen-16 oxygen-17 and oxygen-18. Write the symbol for each, including the atomic number and mass
notsponge [240]
<span>The notation of the isotopes using the atomic number and the mass number consists of the symbol of the atom, preceded by the mass number as a superscript and the atomic number as a superscript.

All the isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number. They only vary the mass number.

So, all the isotopes of oxygen have atomic number 8.

The isotope oxygen-16 has mass number 16, so it is written with the symbol O preceded by the number 16 as a superscript and the number 8 as a subscript (the two numbers to the right of the chemical symbol).

The isotope oxygen-17 has mass number 17, so it is written with the symbol O preceded by the number 17 as a superscript and the number 8 as a subscript.

The isotope oxygen-18 has mass number 18, so it is written with the symbol O preceded by the number 18 as a superscript and the number 8 as a subscript.</span>
